Gigabyte R9 270X, or an extra 50 bucks for this one?

They are both great cards, and the 760 outperforms the 270x slightly. However, the big kicker is driver support which has dogged the R9 and other newer ATI models. I would suggest thinking about the games you plan to play and checking their individual support forums for any issues. Also, be sure to do a physical check in your case and make sure the card will fit. This card is incredible large and you might have interference issues with things like your hard drives.

We bought the card we bought due to the program we were running, it was a program requirement. And this is a very long card, I had to rearrange the hard drives to make this fit.

I'm using a Gigabyte Z97X-UD3H-BK - fits fine. From the looks of the 2 R9 270 GPU crossfire I see no problem. You will have room to spare.

yes, wth one display and medium setting. this card is no good for high stress games like battlefield and crysis online. if you are already dishing out money for lowerend GPU you might as well invest in a 560ti at minimum. 660ti is a great low-medium investment. for 120-180 $ you cant beat that. 2 x 660tis can run as good as a single 4gb 770. double check your game system requirements and make sure your running the correct hardware.

That totally depends on what you plan to do with it. For web / email, it doesn't really matter, anything from a reputable company like ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI, etc is fine, base your decisions on A) what processor you intend to use and B) price. For gaming, you need to be more picky, and don't get this graphics card for gaming, spend a little more and get *at least* a 7770 or 7790 (in the AMD lineup since you're looking at an AMD card) if gaming is your thing.

It depends.. If you're running a custom liquid cooling loop, two CPUS, a couple hundred gigs of ram, and about 50 fans that second MIGHT put you over. If you're running any normal rig then you're fine. Though you may consider the new 290x at this point, just get a non-reference model with great cooling.

I would check Gigabyte's website or ask it on Tom's Hardware forum. They know everything!

My honest opinion is if you are spending the amount of money you are for that motherboard I wouldn't cheap out in the video card. I think GeForce video card would be better as it has built in video streaming programming into it for twitch.tv ect but I do not know all of the specs of the new geforces. This video card is pretty good. Modern day mother boards come with pci express slots that are universal to all gpus there isn't any difference to my knowledge from pci express 2.0 and 2.1 other then bickering from amd and nvidia.

Do you have a pci express x16 2.0, 2.1, or 3.0 and a powersuply of more then 400w with either a 6 pin connector or 2 molex connectors? If so, then yes. ------------------ Under further reaserch of the bored you(hopfully) don't yet have I have to say is EXTREAM OVER KILL. that board runs 200 ish here on amazon and you only need all the stuff it has if your trying to run a server while edditing videos/ rendering them. this is a mid-range card an the motherboard you speak of is the low of the high. sooo you would be better of with the gigabyte 270x or up or a duel set up with this card. If you don't know about what I speak (since you don't appear to know much about compatibility ) I would suggest a cheaper first rig, and also something newer. getting a good bored is important but aim for a newer one. reaserch research a d research. and more research. YouTube helps a lot. I hope this impute was helpful, good luck with the build!

Probably so. WoW isn't too demanding and you can refer to this link for advice on how: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/126887-3-monitor-setup-with-r9-270x/

Sorry I don't have the 660 but the 270 is silent and very powerful. Really moves the air and I can run it all night.

Get EVGA if you want good product support and a great warranty. Get Gigabyte if you plan on overclocking or want a quiet card because the windforce cooler is an absolute beast for both.

The Gigabyte version is very quiet. Evga is the number 1 seller for a reason though. My choice would be to wait till the 800 series releases.

I actually don't know. I would start with the AMD site and see what information you can find there. If you can't find any helpful info, then I would try Newegg. If you still can't find it, call AMD directly and ask where you can purchase one at. I wish I could be more helpful, but I'm only running a single R7 graphics card and I am not utilizing the crossfire feature.

Really depends what your budget is, if you're wanting a good card with enough power to run most games at medium setting with high frame rate, go with either AMD Radeon R7 260X or Nvidia GTX 650, they price anywhere from $95-$125. But if you're wanting to get even a better card that can play most games at medium high to ultra with decent frame rate, go with AMD Radeon R9 270x or 280x or Nvidia GTX 660 or GTX 750ti.

Both are pretty similar, but today I would pick a r9 270x instead of a r7 260x only for its price.

Assuming you are gaming, it's approximately a 30% increase in performance & frame rate vs the 270x. Has 50% more memory (3gb vs 2gb), more Shading Units (2048 vs 1280), more Texture Maping Units (128 vs 80) and more computer units (32 vs 20). Go for the 280x unless hitting budget constraints

4790 by slightly, it would more so depend on your gpu and ram. It's comes down to additional price vs slight performance increase.
